Brazil: US tourist visas will become more expensive as of May 30

The fee for issuing US visas in various categories will increase as of May 30, 2023.

The fee for the tourist visa (B1/B2) will rise from US$160 to US$185.

This fee will be charged for all non-immigrant visa applications that do not require a petition, that is, third-party support.

The fee is different for other visas, such as work visas.

The new fees consider a US State Department calculation of the demand for visa service.

According to the agency, adjusting the revenue to the service costs is necessary, which are not being covered.

The US government stated that the adjustment could be even higher if no revisions to its original proposal were made.
